Well, I did it. After a rocky start, which prompted the deletion of about 700 words, I managed to repair one of the stalled parts in Running Down the Moon and add 1600 new words to my word count. I am now standing about 51% completion, as you can see from the fancy pants word [...]

Guys, I have to tell you that getting back into Running Down the Moon has been really hard. In fact, I remembered as I sat down to write last night why it was so easy to walk away from the story when holiday travel mayhem set in back in November. I hit a bit of [...] It’s been awhile since I penned a commitment report, but that’s not to say there’s nothing going [...] This week has been all about catching up on the little things. As I mentioned in my last post, I fell a bit behind on my NaNoWriMo word count last weekend on account of both being under the weather and James being here for a short visit. [...] I started my morning off with a bit of a bang. A major plot twist that had been alluding me since the beginning of the novel snapped into place like Lego blocks, and I have spent the last two hours combing through strands to work it into place. [...] Ahhh, this weekend has been jampacked with goodness, but I won’t lie. It’s been incredibly busy because of that. On Friday, I was on track with my NaNo wordcount, but after driving into Rochester to pick up James early Saturday morning, we wound up sleeping much of yesterday. When we did finally get around, the [...] 17% complete. That is the percentage of my 75,000 word goal I have met on my current novel project. The current word total is logged in on the meter tonight at 13,096 words, and before midnight tomorrow, I need to write another 1904 words to reach my planned 15,000 word goal before NaNoWriMo kicks off. [...] I hope that whatever you are committed to, you are following through. Many of us fear commitment because we worry that we won’t follow through, and when you don’t follow through it let’s the people who count on you, but most especially yourself, down. Never be afraid to commit to yourself out of worry that you’ll let others down. It’s an excuse and a cop out to remain stagnant. Since this is the only life we know of that we as individuals get to experience, risk everything… [...] I know it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged, and I certainly haven’t been keeping up with my commitment reports. I guess that’s because for the last week, I haven’t been as committed as I should be. I’ve spent most of my writing time these last seven days on my freelance job, because despite the fact [...] This last week has been incredibly busy, between work, planning, packing and family affairs, and I have discovered a great deal about myself in the process. 1. There are two types of pressure. 2. I only work well under one type of pressure. Deadline pressure. The other type of pressure makes it impossible to focus, and while I did finally pass the 6000 word mark on Running Down the Moon, I am sad to say that I have only written about 300 words since [...] |
